Q: Different cover art for different audiobook chapters?
In iBooks on iOS 9.3.2, all chapters in a given audiobook display the first chapter's cover art while playing even if the individual chapters have their own cover art. This is particularly annoying when you have a number of audiobooks in a series all formatted as different chapters. Suppose you have all seven Harry Potter audiobooks combined into a single album, with each book as its own chapter - The Sorcerer's Stone being Chapter 1, The Chamber of Secrets being Chapter 2, and so on. No matter which "chapter" you play, it always displays the cover art for The Sorcerer's Stone.
I have found no way to fix this in the iBooks settings or anywhere else, apart from formatting each "chapter" as its own album. This tends to create a fair amount of clutter when you have a series with a lot of individual books and you want to keep everything as neatly organized as possible.
Can this be rectified in an upcoming iBooks release? You'd think it would be a simple fix for the app to get the cover art from the currently playing chapter rather than the first one.
